GitHub Actions Has a Package Manager, and It Might Be the Worst

GitHub Actions has a package manager that ignores decades of supply chain security best practices: no lockfile, no integrity verification, no transitive pinning

This last round of cancellations was due to a funny interaction between ancient Meson (0.62, which I get from Ubuntu 22.04's repos) and new Clang (21.4, built from source in that workflow). So my newest (hopefully last, for now) change is to download the newest Meson and use that instead of system Meson.

Oh and I need Ubuntu 22.04 because I wanna compile against an old enough glibc to make the software usable on more distros. I hate glibc so much T_T

Day 3: GitHub Actions with r-lib/actions - CI/CD Setup 🚀

Automate your package testing across multiple platforms and R versions! 🔄
Quick setup: ⚡

💡 Pro Tip: The standard check runs on Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu with
multiple R versions.

📚 Resources: https://github.com/r-lib/actions

1/ The Trust Problem: You write a package on your Mac. A user on Windows tries it - it breaks. Another on Linux - different error. You can't test everywhere. Users lose trust. You lose sleep debugging platform-specific issues.
Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3
2/ The Manual Testing Nightmare: Before CI/CD, "testing across platforms" meant:
Begging friends with Windows machines
Spinning up VMs (if you knew how)
Hoping rhub worked
Crossing fingers for CRAN
Fixing bugs AFTER users found them
Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3
3/ Enter GitHub Actions: Every push, every pull request - your package gets tested on:
Windows (latest R, oldrel, devel)
macOS (multiple versions)
Ubuntu (multiple versions) Automatically. For free. While you sleep.
Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3

4/ One Command Setup:
usethis::use_github_action("check-standard")

That's it. You now have professional-grade CI that most companies pay thousands for. Your package is tested like tidyverse packages.

Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3
5/ What Actually Happens: When you push code:
GH Actions spins up 3+ machines
Installs R on each
Installs your dependencies
Runs R CMD check
Reports results back
All in ~5-10 minutes
You get a ✅ or ❌ immediately.
Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3
6/ Real Example: Last month I added a function using tempdir(). Worked perfectly on my Mac. GitHub Actions caught that it failed on Windows due to path separators. Found in 8 minutes, not 8 days post-CRAN submission.
Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3

7/ The Three Essential Actions:
usethis::use_github_action("check-standard") # Core testing
usethis::use_github_action("test-coverage") # Track coverage
usethis::use_github_action("pkgdown") # Auto-deploy docs

These three give you: testing, metrics, and documentation. Professional package development.

Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3
8/ Coverage Tracking: The test-coverage action pushes to https://codecov.io, giving you a badge showing % of code tested. This isn't vanity - it identifies untested functions that need attention. Public accountability drives quality.

9/ Documentation Automation: The pkgdown action rebuilds your website on every push. Docs are ALWAYS current. No "oops, forgot to rebuild the site." Users always see up-to-date documentation. Zero extra work.
Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3
10/ The Confidence Factor: Before pushing to CRAN, you KNOW your package works everywhere. That ✅ on your commits means:
No platform-specific bugs
Tests pass on all versions
Documentation builds
Coverage is tracked
CRAN submission becomes routine, not stressful.
Show threadᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱDec 3
11/ The Bottom Line: GitHub Actions transforms package development from "hope it works" to "know it works." It's like having a QA team that works 24/7, for free, testing every change. This is how professionals develop packages.
